That is great advise. I think it applies to time periods between
doctors visits.
Since I am seeing a new doctor, I am keeping track of what is going on
with me for before my visit. I want to have in front of me what has
been going on so I will be able to read it off to him and not go from
memory.
Thanks for the advise!
